Differences between Center and Median options of Blender snap target menu?
Center uses the pivot point instead of a property of the object itself. The default for the pivot point, however, happens to just be the median center, which is why selecting &quot;center&quot; doesn't appear to do anything by default:

In other words, you can think of the &quot;center&quot; setting as a &quot;defer to pivot point&quot; setting. The primary use of this is that it lets the snap point be defined by the 3D cursor by selecting &quot;3D Cursor&quot; in the pivot point menu (see above image) while the snap target is set to &quot;Center&quot;. Using &quot;Center&quot; with the other pivot point options isn't too useful in most cases.
